We are VERY Excited to announce that Gabe Lee and JD Graham will be making a stop at Sweetbay Brewing Co. on Friday, November 21st, 2026!! Free to ALL Ages!!.
"Storytelling has been an anchor of Gabe Lee's music since the very beginning. He launched his career as a genre-bending musician after returning to Tennessee, quickly progressing from dive bar gigs to high-profile opening slots (including shows with Jason Isbell, Los Lobos, and other artists who, like him, blurred the lines between roots-rock, country, and other forms of American folk music) to his own headlining shows. Throughout it all, he drew upon the narrative skills he'd sharpened as a student. If albums like Honky-Tonk Hell and The Hometown Kid often unfolded like autobiographical entries from his road journal, then Drink the River shows an even broader range of his storytelling abilities. Lee isn't just writing songs about himself; he's writing songs about all of us. And maybe, in doing so, he can bring us a little closer together."

"JD Graham's journey from addiction and prison to purpose and sobriety is the lifeblood of his music. With raw, soul-bearing songwriting and a voice hardened by truth, the Oklahoma native and former death metal guitarist turned Americana troubadour writes songs that hit where it hurts-and heal where they need to.
His 2023 breakout album Pound of Rust and 2024 follow-up Sergeant of Sorrow earned him spots at Mile o Festival, Born & Raised, and listening rooms across the country. A songwriter's songwriter, Graham doesn't just perform-he connects.
"I write to reach people-on a barstool, in a prison cell, or in a crowd. Human connection is the point.""
